They will also examine to make certain there is nothing obstructing the chimney such as birds nests or leaves. If you have not had any type of problems in the past with normal use of your fire place, this is the recommended evaluation.
An advanced assessment, or Level 2 inspection, is much more in depth. This will consist of everything that is executed with a basic inspection with the addition of a camera or other tool to inspect the entire flue as well as internal chimney structure. It would also include an assessment of the attic and also any areas surrounding the chimney.
